(Brian Meyer \u2013 Bufalo News) The Broadway Market is facing a management shake-up as it prepares to move into its second-busiest time of the year.<\/p>\n

The man who was hired a year ago to try to engineer a turnaround for the struggling city-owned market told officials he\u2019s no longer interested in being reappointed to the job.<\/p>\n

Thomas A. Kerr was among three finalists being considered for the $65,000-a-year job. Kerr had been spotted packing up his belongings in recent weeks, and the city\u2019s top planner disclosed today that Kerr is no longer operating the East Side retail icon. Brendan R. Mehaffy said the market is being supervised on an interim basis by three city staffers who are sharing an array of responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Kerr could not be reached to comment, and Mehaffy refused to divulge why the former market manager is no longer a candidate for the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s personnel stuff, and I\u2019m not going to get into it,\u201d Mehaffy said.<\/p>\n

Kerr\u2019s year-long tenure won praise in some arenas, and criticism in others. His admirers credited him for experimenting with some different concepts to try to bring more people to the market. For example, he was instrumental in setting up rooftop gardens on the top deck of the market\u2019s parking ramp<\/a>. Urban agriculture buffs eagerly claimed more than 70 raised beds.<\/p>\n
